Actually nothing. It is the responsibility of the person who received the cheque to deposit and encash it before the cheque becomes stale dated.
! Banks have no responsibility to review the date on a check to determine if it should be deposited, paid, refused or rejected (this is in Rules and Regulations provided when an account is opened); On a stale dated check, ifcustomer doesn't want check paid, they should place stop payment on it. This also applies to post dated checks. According the the UCC, a bank can refuse a stale dated or posted check. It is at the discretion of the financial institution.
A check that is older than 90 days (or 180 days depending on the Country) is considered a stale or expired check. It is worthless and carries no value. You cannot cash such a check. Since the check is expired, the check issuing bank will not pay for it. Such a check is called a stale dated check

I am afraid not. after one year they are dead. Such cheques are called Stale Dated Cheques. It differs from country to country. In many countries cheques become stale after 90 days from the date of issue
A Post Dated Cheque is one that has a date in future. A Stale Cheque is one in which the date is in the Past. Usually cheques have a validity of around 90 to 120 days. So, lets say someone gave you a cheque in March 2011 and you have still not cashed it, it is a stale dated cheque. Similarly if I give you a cheque with date as 10-May-2012 today (on 14 Jan 2012) it would be a Post dated cheque. In this case, the cheque is valid only on or after 10th May 2012. Until then, it is just a piece of paper and is worthless
No. Only the person who issued the check to you can replace the stale dated check. Banks do not have any authority to reissue state dated checks to people to whom checks were issued by their account customers. You need to contact the person who gave you the check and ask for a replacement check.
No bank will actually cash a stale dated check. Checks usually have a validity of 90 or 180 days (depending on the country) and after that date, the check is stale and worthless. No bank will accept such checks for cashing or cash it. So, there is no chance of any consequences.
You should return it to the maker and request a new check or payment in some other form. Even though the check is "stale" as far as a bank may be concerned, it is still an obligation of the maker to the payee.
